Tetabef

The TWU team is updating their blog regularly so if you haven't checked it out already, here it is again: http://www.twu-haiti.blogspot.com/

Yesterday they did a seminar in Tetabef (a nearby mountain community where Pastor Luc has planted a church). It's a long hike & it's super hot here at the moment so the team rented motocycles... it was definitely an adventure!!





They had a day off this week so they set up a volleyball net & taught the kids to play:



The boys on the team have been playing soccer with the kids almost everyday... until a few days ago when "Matthew tackled Justin and split his chin open"... at least that's the rumor the kids at H2H have been spreading around... sorry Matthew! We had to take Justin to the hospital for a few stitches:



H2H has also been hosting an under 16 soccer tournament these past few weeks... thanks to one of our boys, Rood. They formed several teams within H2H and the kids in the community and played a round robin style tournament. Saturday was the final and one of the H2H teams won! It was fun to watch the kids play and I was proud of Rood for organizing such a great community event.

Here's some pictures from the final match... H2H is in green.

TWU update

The team has already got 2 seminars under their belt and several more booked for the next few days.

Here they are with the grade 5 & 6 classes at the H2H school:





The tooth brushing skit:



The "don't pass the germs" skit:



The team has also spent lots of time with the kids at H2H... some of them have even been brave enough to try "haitian hair".

The team's luggage arrived (just 1 day after they arrived themselves) and they have spent the week getting ready to do their health seminars (which start Tuesday) and learning the Haiti 'ways'.... kreyol, washing by hand, sitting in the back of the truck while going up the river bank...

They are keeping a separate blog to record their adventure, you can check it out at: http://www.twu-haiti.blogspot.com/

Today we went for a tour of some of the communities they will be speaking at this week - here's the team checking out 'the water source' in one of the mountain communities:

Trinity Western University

A team from TWU arrived this afternoon... unfortunately their luggage didn't arrived with them! We have our fingers crossed that the luggage will arrive tomorrow morning.

The team will be here for a month & will be giving health seminars for churches, schools and community groups.
